My husband and I went to Toro Yaka for 3 nights, and frankly we both wished we would have stayed longer. Everything about it is just wonderful. Nicole is kind, friendly, attentive and warm. Qualities that immediately make you feel comfortable and at ease around her. She is there to welcome you when you arrive, along with other members of...

Perfection is the word to define a stay at this lovely lodge. Besides the charming place itself, full of details that make you feel in the heart of Africa, everything there is about spoiling the guests. From details like Nicole being at the entrance every time one comes back from a game drive to the fact that they wash your...

This was our second stay at he lodge and that says a lot because I rarely go back to the same place. This time we came as a family of 5. What a wonderful place. From the welcome to the final goodbye everything was just perfect. Nicole and her staff are so warm and friendly, nothing is too much trouble...

Love this place! All the positive reviews speak for themselves. The lodge, the hosts, the food & the ambience are perfection. If you are planning a trip to Balule, this is definitely the place to stay.

How you get welcomed to Nicole and her crew is already really good. First a little welcome drink and some information. The rooms are amazing. A shower in and outside :) The swimming pool is not really big but perfect for by this accommodation. Great to see the sunset when you are in the swimming pool. The game drives are...

Toro Yaka means 'my dream' and it certainly was, I can't think of anything they could do better because everything was just perfect. Steve and Nicole the owners could not have been more welcoming and friendly, I loved the fact that after each game drive, they were waiting with the dogs to welcome us back and shared our excitement at...

I can't really expand on the title. Toro Yaka is absolutely fantastic in every way. Fantastic wildlife. Fantastic place. Fantastic staff and absolutely amazing food. Would go back tomorrow if I got the chance.

When I chose Toro Yaka for my stay among the many alternatives the Reserve of Balule offers, I only had on hand the impressive reviews on TA. Now I know why they have so many returning guests and I hope I will be part of them soon.
Despite the signs of human presence, the reserve of Balule is a lovely...

Owner/Manager team Steve & Nicole Baillie would like to invite you to visit Toro Yaka Bush Lodge. This special lodge is nestled in the heart of the Balule Nature Reserve, a 38 000 hectare conservancy, which forms part of the Greater Kruger National Park area. ToroYaka means “My Dream” in Northern Sotho, one of South Africa’s local languages, and the creation of Toro Yaka Bush Lodge has fulfilled the dreams of Steve and Nicole, by establishing a haven of peace and tranquility from which to share their passion for nature. The lodge has been designed in a modern elegant style, with a relaxed atmosphere, allowing guests to sit back, relax and feel at home. The six en-suite double rooms ensure tranquility and comfort at all times. Steve has spent more than a decade sharing his knowledge and love for the bush with clients from all over the world at luxury game lodges throughout South Africa. Nicole is a qualified holistic massage therapist and takes care of all the tiny details. Together with the Toro Yaka Staff, they will ensure your stay to be a memorable one. Balule is home to a large variety of plants and animals. From the smallest spider to the largest elephant, from the tiniest flower to a 1000 year old Leadwood tree, owls at night and eagles by day, every aspect of the ecosystem is explored. The Olifants River, which flows year round through the Balule, is home to hippos and crocodiles, and the whole area is one of scenic splendor, with the northern tip of the Drakensberg mountain range being visible from many points. Together with all of this, Toro Yaka Bush Lodge offers you good home cooked food, friendly service, warm South African Hospitality and loads of enthusiasm....more less
